| Tape Project Tapes Whoops,I forgot to mention- TTP uses 468 tape. If you buy 10 reels they cost about $45 each plus shipping. The reels are NAB but not as classy as TTP reels, plus the leather bound boxes are first class. THEY CAN'T BE MAKING MONEY ON THIS VENTURE, ... | |
| Tape Project Tapes Gentleman, I made the comment to Mepearson regarding buying 20 releases from TTP per year, if they could release them. It wasn't an off the cuff statement but re-enforcement of what happened after I heard the first TTP release on my Ampex 351-2 I ... | |
| How many People own Working Reel to Reel Decks? Gentleman, Tonight Sue and I went to the first Presbyterian church in Richmond Va. to record the James River Singers. We took my Ampex 351-2 tape machine I bought new in 1958 and a pair of Peluso 2247 SE condenser mikes. The result was glorious. I... | |
| Grand Prix Monaco review in new Stereophile- OUCH If this thread hasn't set a record for the most postings in a week, I'd like to know what has. "Desperate Housewives" and "Dancing With The Stars" must be eating their hearts out. Personally, I looked past the subjective opinions, and ordered an a... | |
| Best rack for non-suspension turntable? Gentleman, Over a year and 1/2 ago I looked into both the Halcyonics and Minus-K isolators. One designed with bells and whistles, { translation; what will it cost if something goes awry?}, and a somewhat low weight capacity, the other designed on ... | |

In 4 hours it distills one gallon of water. the cost was around $500 bucks. My wife saw it and knew it was for my rcm mania. I've used 7 gallons for my rcm over ... | |
| VPI RCM 17 F trouble, very urgent NEED HELP...... Markd51,Most of the American made vac motors are made by Lamb Electric. They make the widest range of motors available and have been doing it as long as anyone. They also private label for many oem users so the Lamb part number won't show up. Ken | |
| VPI RCM 17 F trouble, very urgent NEED HELP...... Markd51, The Typhoon motor, 3m153, is both physically larger than the motor used in the 16.5, 3M099, and turns at 20 rpm as comparred to 18 rpm for the 16.5 motor.

| VPI RCM 17 F trouble, very urgent NEED HELP...... Markd51' Grainger part number-- 3m099, Typhoon motor number is -3m153. You can adapt the typhoon motor to the 16.5 by drilling a few holes in the mounting plate of the 16.5. The balls of the typhoon motor is worth the few minutes it would take t... | |
| VPI RCM 17 F trouble, very urgent NEED HELP...... Njaferi, I have one for each. The first Grainger part number was for the Typhoon. It ran $63. and as soon as I compared it to the one in the 16.5, I knew she gave me the wrong motor number. After getting the correct number I reordered from Grainge... | |
| VPI RCM 17 F trouble, very urgent NEED HELP...... Najferi, I had a similar problem with my 16.5 after only a few hours of use. I thought the gears in the motor were stripped, they're only plastic. While the machine was under warranty, it was too much trouble to return it. After opening the machi... | |
| Zerostat 3 - Does it really work? Shsohis, Rushton's comment on the Zerostat is right on the money. The effect of removing any static charge from your lp's is noticable, especially if you have a rug in your music room and the air is dry and warm. I'm attempting to finish up two pr... | |
| XV-1s. Since 2000, timeless or ready for upgrade? Audiofeil, I've read many of your postings over the past years. Making a living in the high end audio world, maintaining a reputation for an opinion on that which you don't sell, but advocate, is rare. Thanks for your re-enforcment in my purchase.... | |
| XV-1s. Since 2000, timeless or ready for upgrade? Downunder, Thanks for the reply, I got my information on the Audiogon listing of models databased. It was probably just a slip on their part, they show the XV-1s as first available in 2000. I had ordered an XV-1s a year ago, then cancelled it, in... |
